“Everybody who likes to make a Plan B,”
the moderator said, “stand over here.
And everybody who doesn’t like Plan Bs,
stand over there.
There were two groups of us:
half the department on one side;
half the department on another.
Our directors where both on the same side.
So the moderator asked them,
“Why don’t you like to make Plan Bs?”
And the head of marketing said,
“I don’t like to make Plan Bs
because plans never work out.”
I really wish I could add a rimshot to this poem.
Prompt: write write a poem that “talks,” slangy, based in spoken language.
